Luxury Hotels In Davos

A Forest-Edge Base Above Lake Davos

AlpenGold Hotel sits at the edge of the forest, elevated above Lake Davos. Its Baslerstrasse address belongs to the Davos Dorf side of town. Use the hotel as the base for lake, town and side-valley outings, rather than expecting an address directly on the central Promenade.

Walk Beside The Lake

The Davosersee shore route alternates between gravel paths beside shady woodland and more open ground. Wild plants line the banks, and the north shore offers a view across the water towards the valley and mountains. This is a waterside landscape outing, distinct from heading up to a high mountain viewpoint.

Visit The Farming Hamlet Of Sertig

Sertig's houses and stables sit within a glacial side valley shaped by steps and sills. The white church in Sertig Dörfli dates from 1699. Local farming families built it together, and their house marks remain on interior beams and the gallery balustrade. The small church connects the valley landscape with the community that maintained it.

Farther towards the valley head, the waterfall and the peaks of Mittagshorn, Plattenflue and Hochducan give the outing a mountain backdrop. The hamlet and surrounding pastureland offer a change from the main town's streets.

Discover Mining At Schmelzboden

The Bergbaumuseum Graubünden occupies a former nineteenth-century mining administration building at Schmelzboden. Ores, minerals, documents, images, equipment and models explain the region's extractive industry. It is a cultural outing for travellers interested in technology and working life, with a different subject from Davos's art and literary associations.
